Just announced via this article, a reprint of Grey Knights! Still very proud of this deep dive into a faction that, at the time, was only just getting fleshed out. And it’s a flashy special edition, too. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Onslaught, from Marvel Crisis Protocol by @atomicmassgames.bsky.social I wanted a different colour scheme and found that Magneto (who provides half of Onslsught’s psychic consciousness, it’s complicated) sometimes wears a white costume.

Painting some #Warmachine for the first time in a while. Always loved the Cephalix.

We've just passed week one on @kickstarter.com! Want to learn more about what we're doing here? Check out the words of our friends @bloody-disgusting.com! bloody-disgusting.com/the-further/...

So much art ive kept secret for so long....check out american abyss, kickstarter is now live!

The huge multimedia project I've been working on for a year+ is now on Kickstarter! American Abyss is a project that'll take you to the city of Palmyra, besieged by war and terrifying phenomena, and show you the lives of survivors stuck between the nightmares. Please consider backing to support us!

A very awesome Kickstarter I'm a part of, a multimedia weird horror project with tons of art, audio, writing, and gross fungus people @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/pac...

"A sign recovered from a Kurdizov testing facility. What kind of experiments could necessitate signage like this?" No AI has been used in the making of this project. American Abyss is 100% human made.

Was reminded today of this paint job on Radukar the Beast, still one of the best I’ve ever done. #warhammer #miniaturepainting

Notice to all residents of the Palmyra Exclusion Zone. Remember: Oneiric Soporism spreads through mirror neuron activity during contagious yawning. The acute onset of Oneirc Soporism may begin with mild symptoms like elevated heart rate, anxiety, confusion, and lucid dreaming...

Welcome to the Palmyra Exclusion Zone. This world is hand crafted for folks who like to read the item descriptions in Souls games, or watch long lore videos. Inspired by "weird zone" stories like Roadside Picnic, Annihilation, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Pacific Drive.

Thulia Ghuld, a very cool #Warhammer miniature I painted as a chill exercise between weirder competition pieces, and to do something with the many #HorusHeresy Space Marines I had in the stash.

Our second podcast episode is now live! youtu.be/g1vIWDrVOD0?...

Audio recovered from 541.4 Mercer St. House. We’re unsure the origins of these voices… https://youtu.be/loDf9zH4a2M?si=APrvi2JsKndYocOO

Very cool techno-thriller series from a fellow Warhammer alumnus!

Nic was one of the first people to join @bencounter.bsky.social and I on American Abyss! They really helped define so much of this world, and we're so lucky to have them!

I'm one of the writers on this very cool project, where an American city becomes the breeding ground for all manner of strangeness. Podcast, art, articles, Easter eggs, audio, and everything else the crew can think of are going into this, with a Kickstarter for the whole lot beginning soon.

From time to time I like to indulge my love for simple cool Warhammer subjects and true metallics, and Kravek Morne here lets me do both. #warhammer #miniaturepainting #IronWithinIronWithout

Realised today that when I wear sunglasses I look like a photofit of the Ubabomber.

Twizelda the Brave sets off on her next bold adventure.

Warhammer has been a huge part of my life since childhood and John Blanche was a huge part of Warhammer. Very saddened to learn that he has passed away. I hope he is recognised for the significance of his vision.

Checked out the HR Giger museum yesterday! Very awesome, I got to meet the Perfect Organism.

Good time to be a fan of video games and the Mechanicus! To celebrate Mechanicus 2 and the Skitarii class for Darktide here’s a look at my own followers of The Machine God. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #mechanicus #warhammer #40k

Go to 15:50 and hear a bunch of words I wrote! Also Scaevola is back and she wants to dissect your spine. youtu.be/q1TaMnMA4gg?...

Strike Launcher Gundam from Gundam Assemble, playing around with more alternative colour schemes.

My entries at this year’s Miniature Painting Open run by @cultofpaint.bsky.social My submarine got a Bronze in the Standard category.

My boys are still out there in the wild.

I have a science fiction horror novel. Tons of body horror and existential alien dread. Think Event Horizon, Dead Space and the Alien series. Who publishes sci-fi horror? Which agents want it? What do I do with this cavalcade of gross fleshy terror on my hard drive?

Any of you lot heading to Salute this year?

Sword Strike Gundam from #GundamAssemble Trying out a funky colour scheme, intrigued how the game will catch on.

Crisis of faith about the current writing project. Thinking about drastically trimming the middle section.

More work on the hungry hungry submarine.

If you see this, post a monster!

Fancy reading about some rich & powerful assholes getting killed in horrible ways? How about as a narrative poem? Well, it just so happens I wrote exactly that and you can find it here... amzn.eu/d/0iy15yDk

Do people Kickstart books? If they do, is it just special editions of existing successful books, or do writers use it as a pre-order/hype system so as to not get lost in the mire of Amazon titles?

Wargamers: Paint schemes reflect the lore of the game and should be consistent, repeatable and researched to make a game into a microcosm of the game world. Knotley: CONTRAST PARTY LETS GOOO

I’m ready for them to just launch the nukes.

The submarine hungers

I wrote a book this year. 2026 will determine if anyone notices.

Wooo

I want a cooperative miniatures wargame. There are skirmish and dungeon crawler-type games, but I want either a whole army’s worth of cooperating units vs a game-controlled army, or multiple heroes vs big complex bad guys like boss fights in an MMO.

I really want to write some more LitRPG.

Very kind words and a fun reminder of when I got to give Lysander a really miserable time.

Looking for recommendations on co-op miniatures games. Does Five Parsecs From Home work with multiple players, for instance? Especially games with lots of story content or potential.

A Chaos Dwarf as a treat. Helsmiths of Hashut War Despot.

www.portsmouth.co.uk/arts-and-cul... It’s opening night of Hangmen, the play I’m in. Here’s an article on it featuring a delightful picture of me!

We are more alike than we are different, for all our differences. And we’re all just trying to make it through the night.
